During 1982 and 1983 seasons, experiments were carried on selected date palms of Zahdi cultivar of about 35 years of age, in Daura region, near Baghdad. Forty eight trees were subjected to four levels of pruning, leaving 10, 8.8, 7.6 and 6.4 green leaves per bunch. The severe pruning and unpruned treatments (control) decreased the productivity of the palm as compared to light and medium pruning. Best results were obtained from the light and medium pruning applications. The higher number of fruits per kilogram of total yield was obtained from the unpruned trees during the two seasons and differed significantly from other treatments in the first season, and only from the light pruning treatment in second season
